	I dont think so, because we are looking for signals and not for objects. ____________

	The answer to your question is,yes,Arecibo being a Radio Telescope can detect these type of stars it all depends on whether they are looking for them,or not, but if I were to be looking for them I would probibly be using Parkes in Australia it sees more of this Galaxy or perhapes Merlin in The UK(several Radio Telescopes connected by fast fiber optics). ____________ To get back my youth I would do any thing in the world EXCEPT take Exercize,GET up early or be RESPECTABLE.

	I think Astropulse is looking in that way for signals from stars/black holes etc ____________ Proud member of TSWB. End terrorism by building a school
